From the 1970's this is a Gretsch 12 (Deep) x 15 floor tom in a red sparkle wrap. This was originally a snare drum that has been converted. 6 ply maple shell with a silver interior. It shows signs of use with heavy scratches, scuffs, and some gouges in the wrap. There's a little fading as well. No bubbling or seam separation. This is missing the badge and keyholder. Also has holes where the butt and throw off were. Metal hoops and hardware have pitting and some rust. Legs and brackets are Yamaha. Hoops are Ludwig, and all of the tension rods and washers are period replacements. Resonant side hoop is from a snare drum. Leg brackets are 100% functioning. Interior and bearing edges are in pretty good shape. Heads show wear, but have a good amount of use left. See the pictures for more details!
